Mauro S. M. Rodrigues cf18cecca9 bnx2x: Check if transceiver implements DDM before access
Some transceivers may comply with SFF-8472 even though they do not
implement the Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) interface described in
the spec. The existence of such area is specified by the 6th bit of byte
92, set to 1 if implemented.

Currently, without checking this bit, bnx2x fails trying to read sfp
module's EEPROM with the follow message:

ethtool -m enP5p1s0f1
Cannot get Module EEPROM data: Input/output error

Because it fails to read the additional 256 bytes in which it is assumed
to exist the DDM data.

This issue was noticed using a Mellanox Passive DAC PN 01FT738. The EEPROM
data was confirmed by Mellanox as correct and similar to other Passive
DACs from other manufacturers.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
